Examiner Joshua Joo has allowed 35 of 77 decided applications (45%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Joshua Joo maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 77 disposed applications, he allowed 35 and 42 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 45% over the decided count. His record spans a single art unit. This pooled figure describes his past disposition of applications in this technology center and does not predict outcomes in any specific case. The allowance rate reflects historical data only.
This pooled record aggregates all applications decided across Examiner Joo's art units within TC 2100. The 45% allowance rate is calculated from decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) and represents his historical record. Pooled figures do not isolate performance by individual art unit and are correlational snapshots of past activity—they are not predictive of any single application's outcome.
These are aggregate statistics from this examiner's past public record — not predictions about any specific application. The per-art-unit figures below show how the record varies across art units. Our approach to patent prosecution →
Each section benchmarks this examiner against that art unit's average. Figures are this examiner's own public record within the art unit; the overall rate above pools them.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 21 decided applications with an interview and 56 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Joshua Joo has a public record within Technology Center 2100. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 2026. The overall allowance rate is total allowed divided by total decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units — not an average of the per-art-unit rates; pending applications are excluded. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 77 applications.

These statistics describe past examiner behavior and do not predict the outcome of any particular application. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Where this page compares an examiner's allowance rate to an art-unit average, that comparison is a factual description of the public record, not a characterization of any individual examiner's conduct or competence.
